WJCL obtained Catron's criminal records and found that he has an extensive history with the law.

Attorney, Dennis O'Brien said Catron may never see life outside bars again. O'Brien never represented the state or Catron in any of his cases. However, he said each charge carries about 20 years to life in prison.

In 1998, Catron was charged with a cruelty to a child which and was convicted of in 2001. He served time in prison and was put on probation. The court had Catron undergo anger management training.

"The State and court appeared to be at the time taking the appropriate steps," explained O'Brien, "What you would expect to do in a situation like that."

In 2011 he was charged with public indecency. Then in 2013 Catron was arrested after exposing himself to children on a Bulloch County school bus. The court ordered Catron to undergo a sex offender evaluation.
